Full-Time Magister: Dark Throne

After crushing the Japanese team in the opening match on the first day, He An disappeared from the public eye.

In the subsequent rounds of the competition, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Ai Jiangtu took turns leading their teams to victory.

Although their performance was also amazing, most viewers were looking forward to the figure in black.

Because Eisendall, the world-renowned Dark Lord, was found guilty during this period, the treasure hunt for the World's Greatest Academies was postponed for two days.

These past two days have been extremely distressing for many spectators who came to watch the game.

They were eager to see what amazing moves the prodigy who had single-handedly defeated the opposing National Team in the opening match would make in the Treasure Hunt.

-----------------

The Venice showdown involved teams from 32 different countries.

Sixteen of these Nationalist teams were eliminated in the first round, and the treasure hunt will be contested by the remaining sixteen Nationalist teams simultaneously.

The venue for the opening ceremony.

The national teams from sixteen countries gathered together, and the originally close-knit arrangement became sparse due to the elimination of half of the teams.

Unlike the lavish opening ceremony, the opening setup for the treasure hunt was very simple, with only many silver-lustered magic stones placed in the venue.

These silver magic stones formed a huge magic circle, stirring up magical fluctuations throughout the space.

After the referee explained the rules, He An quickly led the National Team players into the formation.

The grand formation was activated, and a soft silver light shone forth, pulling at every member of the National Government team within it.

Except for He An.

He An felt the weak spatial power within the great formation and sighed softly.

For someone who has inherited the power of an ancient king and possesses the Altar of Saint Kai, the Key to the Starry Sky, and two of the Six Divine Eyes, it is still too difficult to draw upon such spatial power.

With a slight thought, he connected with the spatial coordinates left on Mo Fan and teleported himself into the exclusive space of the treasure hunt.

Although this series of actions was swift, mages with rich teleportation experience could still detect some clues.

"This kid has become so strong that even the spatial array of the treasure hunt competition can't be manipulated?" Pang Lai murmured in the stands.

"Perhaps it's just that his dimensional cultivation is strong?" Archmage Ian, who thought he knew about He An's dimensional talent, laughed from the side.

Lost in thought, Pang Lai looked up and glanced at him sideways, then laughed, "Have you gone mad from spending all your time cultivating at the Holy Kai Altar?"

"Since his initial awakening, every element he's awakened has been dark magic. He's practically more of a dark sovereign than that old geezer Eisendel. How could he possibly have dimensional magic cultivation?"

Archmage Ian smiled and shook his head.

"I don't think so. The world is full of wonders. Didn't your National Team's Mo Fan have a natural talent for dual-elemental abilities? What if he also has a similar natural talent?"

"A natural talent?" Pang Lai fell into deep thought again after hearing his words.

Judging from He An's talent and strength, it's not entirely impossible.

At the very least, his shadow-based summoning ability might be a product of the inherent synergy between shadow and summoning elements.

-----------------

On the other side, all 160 members of the sixteen National Government teams have been sent into the treasure hunt space by the spatial array.

The second stage of the World University Competition: the Treasure Hunt.

The battle has officially begun!

"Buzz~~~~~~"

Mo Fan slowly opened his eyes as he listened to the gradually ceasing spatial tremors around him.

Before me stretched a hazy gray sky and a rugged, magnificent landscape.

It looks like a fantasy-themed oil painting, but it always gives people the feeling of being pieced together.

"An independent space?" Mo Fan whispered.

He was no stranger to this kind of man-made independent space; the Abyss of Evil he had ventured into during his adventure in the ancient capital was one such example.

However, compared to this place, which is only strangely shaped, the Abyss of Evil is still far too dangerous.

Just as he was lamenting his experiences in the Abyss of Evil, a new spatial fluctuation came from beside him.

Mo Fan looked over warily, only to see someone who shouldn't be there.

"Old He?" Mo Fan stared in disbelief at He An, who had suddenly appeared beside him.

"Didn't the rules say that students wouldn't be teleported to the same place twice? Are you cheating again?"

Having just landed, He An looked around at his surroundings and replied perfunctorily, "More or less."

"Damn!" Mo Fan was genuinely envious.

If he also had such an ability, wouldn't it be possible to quickly deepen their relationship by placing him and Mu Ningxue in the same place for training?

As for what to do about Zhao Manyan?

Who is he?

Unfamiliar, stranger, unrelated!

"It feels a bit empty!" As soon as he landed, He An's mental energy had already swept through the entire treasure hunt space.

"Aside from certain areas with generous rewards, the monsters the organizers release into the arena are as easy as killing baby monsters for these magical geniuses. With proper teamwork, even the weakest ones can run rampant."

It seems that the nature of this second phase of the treasure hunt is mostly to create an environment where rewards are given out.

"That won't do!" He An's lips curled into a smile.

We must intensify the academic competition!

"Old He, what do you want to do?"

Mo Fan shivered when he saw He An's smile and hugged himself tightly.

That smile...

Why does it feel like someone's going to be in trouble?

"It's nothing, the soup just tastes a little bland. It's just a little something to add to this year's treasure hunt."

He An waved his hand, and shadowy figures shot out from beneath his feet, heading straight for the university team members who had already been exposed in He An's God's-eye view.

"Is it really just a small condiment?" Mo Fan asked, somewhat doubtful.

If he remembers correctly.

The weakest of He An's Shadow Soldiers could slap his Flying Wolf subordinate to death with a single blow!

He calls this a small condiment?

Mo Fan silently mourned for the other 150 students for 2.5 seconds.

With this person present.

This treasure hunt is unlikely to end peacefully.

After all, he was the first generation of the Great Demon King of Mingzhu, even earlier than himself!

-----------------

Meanwhile, the U.S. Nationalist Army team, separated from He An and Mo Fan by a hilltop, was frantically fleeing.

"Fuck! Can anyone tell me what this thing is?" a woman who looked somewhat alluring cursed.

"How could the organizers let such a monster in? This doesn't make sense!" A somewhat noble-looking man beside her wailed.

His brother participated in the previous World University Competition and led the U.S. National University to an excellent result.

But his brother didn't mention any of these terrifying creatures made of shadows in the information he received!

They had just located some resources that the organizers had set up here, and were preparing to ambush and kill the demons guarding the treasure.

Then they saw this shadow demon appear out of nowhere, chasing after them while stepping on the shattered head of the demon guarding the treasure.

"Damn it! Throw the stuff at it!" The captain of the U.S. National Guard shouted at one of his men, veins throbbing on his forehead.

The man seemed tired of running away and simply tossed the treasure he hadn't even warmed in his hand to the Shadow Wolf that was hot on his heels.

The shadow wolf, carrying the treasure in its mouth, glanced at them.

He left with a look that said, "You're teachable," and then turned and left.
